            You don't mention your driving style,or wether your car is a 
manual or auto,but At a guess,if you're on this digest,you have a 5 spd,and 
drive fairly hard at times.
            The benchmark for excellent handling at a decent price was set 
by Bridgestone,with it's RE730 tire.Since,Dunlop has introduced the 
SP5000,FAR better than the SP4000 it replaces,and a bit better in bad 
weather than the Bridgestone(noticed you're in Ohio;snow,etc.),with equal 
handling.Yokohama chimed in this year with the new AVS dB "decibel",an all 
season handler,and a quiet,excellent tire on a par with the Dunlop and 
Bridgestone. Michelin/Continental,etc., really haven't caught up yet in this 
price range.
            If you want the max in handling on a 528i with wet weather 
traction thrown in,my advice is the  S-02 Pole Position hands down.No 
contest.
